The 'Lancetilla' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in Honduras.
The original tree is believed to have been the result of a cross between the Saigon and Mulgoba varieties by Wilson Popenoe, grown on his property in Lancetilla on the north coast of Honduras. [1]
Lancetilla was introduced to the United States via South Florida and first received notoriety at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's 2001 mango festival. The tree was promoted as a dooryard variety in Florida due to its excellent disease resistance and flavor, and is now widely sold as nursery stock in the state.
A Lancetilla tree is planted in the collection of the Miami–Dade Redland Fruit & Spice Park in Homestead, Florida. [2]
The fruits are quite large at maturity, averaging around 2 pounds, some even weighing as much as 5 pounds. The skin color is red, and the fruit have a long, flattened oval shape. The flesh is lemon yellow in color, completely fiberless, and has a very sweet flavor. It contains a monoembryonic seed. Lancetilla typically matures from August to September in Florida, making it a late season mango.
The trees can be kept at a compact height of around 10 feet with consistent pruning.
